I am drawn to characters who are obviously flawed but have a superpower that they use to help them overcome their horrible odds. In Mr. Robot we meet Elliot who wants to save the world from the oligarchy it has become. Elliot struggles with interpersonal relationships and uses his computer hacking skills try to gain knowledge of his friends and foes alike. Although what he is doing is illegal, he does have a conscience and only uses it to protect the people he cares about and to get the bad guys and never for personal gain. We see the world through his eyes and he confides in the viewer with his every move. Yet sometimes what we see is not reality at all. He keeps us quessing. We see bits and pieces of his truth, but because of his constant battles with disassociative states we may not discover what really happened until several episodes later.
